Lottery player takes chance with online game — and wins big Georgia prize
A stroke of luck led a Georgia lottery player to a six-figure prize.
The Carrollton resident won a $217,570 jackpot playing the Cleopatra Clusters Jackpot Diggi Game on June 23, officials said in a news release.
The game is only available online and features a progressive jackpot that grows with each play until someone wins, according to the lottery's website.
To win, players must match a cluster of at least 20 Eye of Horus symbols in the Main Game or the Free Turns bonus game, per the Georgia Lottery's website.
Players can also snag the jackpot by collecting 25 Cleopatra symbols in the Cleopatra Bonus game.
The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.6, and tickets range from 50 cents to $20.
Additional information wasn't immediately available.
The windfall was one of a few big lottery wins in the Peach State this week.
Two Powerball players each won $50,000 prizes in the June 23 drawing, narrowly missing the game's estimated $129 million jackpot. One ticket was sold in Union City and the other in Cumming, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News.
Winners in Georgia have 90 days to claim prizes on instant games and 180 days from the draw date for draw games, according to the Georgia Lottery.
Carrollton is about a 50-mile drive southwest from downtown Atlanta.
